Spring Jewelry Tips and Tricks

I am a firm believer that jewelry can make or break an outfit and is worn best when the piece is a reflection of it's owner. I wore a pair of huge, chunky plastic earrings to our Sadie Hawkins dance my freshman year of high school. Although today I would not be caught dead in them, that night they were the perfect compliment to my outfit and I wore them with my head high and a giant grin on my face. My point; wear jewelry that makes you feel like a million bucks, and you will personify that image. With that in mind, here are a couple hints for matching your jewelry with your wardrobe.

1. If you are wearing a dramatic piece, make it your only piece. I love bright colored gem stone necklaces and sparkling chandelier earrings, but wearing more than one of these items at a time is overwhelming.

2. Wearing a simple, understated outfit with a bright necklace or earrings will draw attention to your face. I love using this trick on a first date, when you will be talking during a sit down dinner. It is a great way to play up your natural beauty and draw attention to your eyes and smile.

3. Gems are a hot commodity this spring. After a winter season filled with chunky cocktail rings, I am excited for a more natural trend. Beautiful precious stone necklaces, in shades such as cobalt blue and sapphire are a great addition to any spring outfit. Dress down the trend by pairing a necklace with a simple cotton sundress or dress it up with your favorite party frock and sassy pumps for a night out on the town.
